Brittany Ferries Reviews

We haved travelled to France six times in the last 8 years and each time we have chosen to use Brittany Ferries for our crossing. This is more to do with the fact that they service the crossings we want to use rather than a conscious decision over other operators. We usually travel to the West side of France and the Calais crossing and the ...  Read the complete review

We annually use the Portsmouth - St Malo route. It is convenient from where we live and our accommodation is 30 mins from St Malo. Unlike flying taking the ferry obviously allows you to take your car and therefore far more baggage with you. The outward journey is great as it is overnight you can sleep most of the way, however this means the return ...  Read the complete review

Let's start with a fact that should put you off using Brittany Ferries - it's not cheap. Actually, it's expensive. In the past couple of years, I have paid between £100 and £150 for two foot passengers from Plymouth to Roscoff. So, the question has to be asked, when I can fly to France for under a tenner, why pay ten times that to use ...  Read the complete review

Way back in March we were planning to drive to the Costa Blanca in Spain for a few months. After looking at the various ferry options we settled for Brittany Ferries overnight sailing to St. Malo in the north of France. Sailing at night suited us because we would have a full days driving in France and making St. Malo our destination saved us ...  Read the complete review

We live in the South West and both work full time with not a lot of holiday allowance so we tend to use the overnight ferry from Plymouth to Roscoff as this means we don't waste any of our annual leave actually traveling to our holiday destination. I cannot recommend Brittany Ferries highly enough. The accommodation is comfortable and ...  Read the complete review

We travel to France two or three times a year; sometimes we fly but generally we sail with Brittany Ferries. We are fortunate in that we live just twenty minutes away from the Port of Portsmouth and around forty minutes from Poole Harbour, so the ferry is an easily accessible way for us to travel. Portsmouth is our usual choice of ...  Read the complete review

I have just recently saved up some vouchers from a local paper and taken a short holiday in France and the trip to and from my holiday was very enjoyable. Many people would choose to avoid travelling via ferry due to sea sickness, time constraints and the general ease of flying but the journey really was like a mini cruise. BRITTANY ...  Read the complete review

I have just returned from Brittany Ferries three day mini cruise to Spain and all in all found it quite superb. Years ago (when I was a little girl) whilst visiting family friends in France, I travelled via Brittany Ferries to Roscoff, it was not a particularly pleasant experience: several people were seasick and our cabin was adjacent to what ...  Read the complete review

Brittany Ferries' flagship service from Plymouth to Santander is a very civilised way to travel to Spain. There's loads to do on the ship itself and you can leave the children to explore safely. Rough weather can be a problem but the friendly staff will hand out seasickness pills if the need arises. The buffet breakfast is highly recommended in the main restaurant.

If you want a really good mini cruise to Spain then look no further. I went on this fabulous cruise a couple of months a go and will be going again next month. The Cruise Ship: Let me start off by talking about the cruise ship itself. The boat (called the Pont-Aven) was launched in March 2004 and has a stunning 10 decks. It cost ...  Read the complete review

Half an Hour in Santander - Two days on a boozy boat! On a gorgeous morning in June may partner and I boarded the Val de Loire ferry in Plymouth. The ferry is huge and I had no idea how I would cope with regard to sea sickness, boredom, or going hungry. I'd read mixed reports on Dooyoo and ensured I packed rations, Connect 4 and ...  Read the complete review

At the beginning of August My Family and I went on Brittany Ferries? MV Val de Loire for their 24-hour crossing from Plymouth to Santander in Northern Spain. The ferry departed from Plymouth at 0830 so check in was by 0730 which meant an early start, but not as bad as if we had been flying at the same time and had to check in two hours ...  Read the complete review

I recently went on a tour of Normandy with a group, seeing the sites (Bayeux, Caen etc.) and the beautiful Normandy scenery, blue skies, long, golden beaches, palm trees and crystal waters.... or maybe not. Anyway, it las a long drive down to Portsmouth from Newcastle upon the Tyne, several hours long, except we arrived at Portsmouth a few ...  Read the complete review

Brittany Ferries is by far the best ferry company on the channel. Myself and my family have used them for the last 12 years at least 3 times a year. Over this time we have become wellaquainted with the company. On the plymouth - roscoff route we usually have the quiberon and val de loire. People may think that the quiberon is cramped ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be a great way of introducing yourself to the cruise experience. I work in Plymouth port control and am fully aware of all the offers that become available and myself and my girlfriend decided that this would make a lovely short break. The trip consisted of a 24 hour sailing to Santander, 2 hours in Santander to do as you please ...  Read the complete review

If you are wanting to visit Western France or you don't fancy the hustle and bustle of the Kentish ports, then Brittany Ferries is your only real option. Sailings from Cork, Plymouth, Poole and Portsmouth, go to either Caen, Cherbourg, Santander and Roscoff depending on departure port. I have travelled Portsmouth to Caen and ...  Read the complete review

In a few weeks time we will be crossing the channel with Brittany Ferries for the second time in successive years. Last year the North Wales section of the National Tandem Club toured part of Brittany. It was so enjoyable we will be joining them again. I am not a keen sea traveller, but I was assured it doesn't get much better than the ...  Read the complete review

With my grandparents now living there after their retirements, I'm lucky enough to be able to scrounge a free holiday in France just about every year. Brittany Ferries, is from what I've seen, the most popular of the ferry companies which make the trip to the French shores. Their name can be kind of misleading because they actually do ...  Read the complete review

Last week my family and I sailed with Brittany Ferries to Santander (Northern Spain) from Plymouth. This was a 24-hour crossing and it took a while for me to be persuaded to go by my husband, due to being a bit nervous about being on the sea at night. This is the first time I have been on a ferry so cannot compare to any others, but was ...  Read the complete review
